This exciting new procedure uses the NeoGraft Automated FUE Hair Transplant device, which safely and effectively allows us to remove healthy hair for transplantation to areas that have lost hair. The NeoGraft device uses a motorized punch that gently rotates around each individual hair graft in a perfectly cylindrical shape.  It employs a controlled pneumatic pressure (suction) to slide out hair follicles smoothly and uniformly, so there is no pulling and twisting as there can be with forceps.  Suction strength can be adjusted to accommodate different skin types and various sizes of punches. 

The hair grafts extracted by the NeoGraft device are of consistently excellent quality.  Furthermore, because of the way that the grafts are extracted and withdrawn from the donor area, each graft is uniform for even results.  

The grafts are collected in a small canister that gently and frequently mists them with sterile saline to keep them moist until they are ready for implantation. The recipient sites are then prepared to the exact length of the harvested grafts. The hair grafts are loaded into an implantation cannula using negative pneumatic pressure, then inserted into the recipient site with precision using positive pneumatic pressure.

The result is minimal discomfort, no scalpel incision, no sutures, no linear scar, little to no risk of complications, quick recovery time, fewer activity limitations and a more natural looking result than traditional strip transplantation methods.

Did she or didn’t she? With almost 400,000 breast implant procedures last year, according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), that shapely friend who seems a little curvier these days probably did have breast implants. In fact, breast implants have become so popular that they are now the top cosmetic surgical procedure in the U.S.

Although many creams, lotions and potions are sold that claim to enlarge and firm the bustline, implants remain the only proven way increase bust size. Implants can take an A-cup to a C or D-cup; many women have also chosen implants to add fullness to a B cup.

Containing either saline solution or silicone gel, the implant is gently glided under the skin by the surgeon and remains in place permanently. It looks and feels completely natural.

Women who have had breast implants are overwhelmingly happy with the results. According to a recent ASAPS survey of more than 5,000 breast implant recipients, 89% said the procedure met their goals and 94% said they would recommend it to others.

The Short Scar Facelift (MACS-Lift) is a minimally invasive approach to the facelift. The MACS or Minimal Access Cranial Suspension lift is performed through a shorter incision than a full facelift and results in a more natural youthful look due to the restoration of the sagging skin in the lower two thirds of the face and neck.  It is performed as an outpatient procedure and patients are able to go home on the same day as their surgery.

The Short Scar Facelift differs from a regular facelift in that the scar is shorter – just in front of the ear; and the method of lifting the face is different.  Strong sutures are used to suspend the deep tissues of the face from firm points near the ear and forehead.

The advantages of this technique are that the procedure is done through a shorter scar, so less dissection is required and therefore there is less risk of bleeding and other problems.  Another advantage is that the recovery time for the short scar facelift is shorter than the full facelift (1.5 – 2 weeks versus 3 - 4 weeks).  In addition, the direction of lift is straight up or vertical as opposed to a traditional facelift which pulls obliquely on the skin resulting in an unnatural windswept look.  In contrast, the results of the Short Scar Facelift are much more natural appearing.

The Short Scar Facelift has been performed for more than 10 years in Europe and lasts about as long as a traditional facelift (5 - 7 years or longer) depending on environmental factors and heredity. It is important to remember that after any facial procedure, the normal aging process resumes.  Lifestyle choices, bone structure, skin type, sun exposure, and heredity all play a part in determining how long the desired result will last.

Because the Short Scar Facelift has a shorter operative time than the full facelift, it can be safely combined with other procedures such as eyelid surgery, brow lift, and mid face lift.

Contrary to popular belief, a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, isn’t a "one-size-fits-all" procedure. There are several different methods that can be utilized to produce the desired results, depending upon each patient's body type, physical characteristics and goals.

A traditional, or full tummy tuck, is best for patients who have a significant amount of excess skin to be removed as well as weak abdominal muscles. In this procedure, an incision is made along the bikini line that stretches from hip to hip. From this incision, excess fat is removed and the abdominal muscles are tightened. Any excess skin is then stretched downward and removed before the incision is closed. This is the most invasive tummy tuck procedure, but it can produce dramatic results.

A mini-tummy tuck targets the area below the navel. The incision is shorter than with a full tummy tuck and excess fat and skin are removed from the abdominal area below the navel. The abdominal muscles can also be tightened. This is a less invasive procedure that offers a quicker recovery time and results in a shorter scar.

Patients who have lost very large amounts of weight are often with an abundance of excess skin. In this procedure, both horizontal and vertical incisions are made to remove larger amounts of excess skin and fat and tighten the waist area.
